A long-distance train of JR West created for an elegant journey through the San'in scenery. The deep lapis lazuli body is imaged after a "Galaxy," and the interior is a luxurious space where traditional Japanese design and modern comfort fuse. When traveling through Tottori Prefecture, you can leisurely gaze at the dynamic waves of the Sea of Japan and the majestic mountain form of Mt. Daisen from the train windows. Sale of local specialties at stopping stations and warm hospitality from local people are also among its charms. Not just a means of transport, the act of boarding itself becomes the travel destination, providing a special railway experience. For travelers who love Japanese railway culture and superb views from windows, this is a highly recommended luxury journey.

Especially the beauty of twilight and the night view...
